You’ve got to love Pinterest. I don’t get on it often but when I’m winding down right before bed, I just poke around for a few minutes. Thankfully the week of Thanksgiving I stumbled upon this recipe for Boston Market’s copycat sweet potato casserole. In our Italian family we are not ones to have much beyond the meat, potatoes, rolls, and dessert. This would be the first year in 8 years that we have enjoyed anything vegetable related. My sister in law made the best asparagus, my mother in law made a corn soufflé, and I made this potato casserole. I decided to make it two days prior to make sure it tasted good enough. It passed the test so I made it on Thanksgiving. If you like this sort of side dish, then you will want to make one for your family. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. I could have eaten the entire dish. The first time I used large marshmellows and only did half of the recipe in case I didn't like it. The second time I used the mini marshmellows and a full recipe. You want to use the mini marshmellows.
